Carnifex loadouts now

[phishtopher]

I'm thinking hvc. And scything talons, spine banks, adrenal glands, bone mace.

[dkng]

Hvc, Scytals, enhanced Senses and cyst.

[DukeMantis]

I'm running screamer killers!

The heavy venom cannon is the star of our new codex. If you can take one you probably should. It has some of the best shooting stats in our codex and is currently under cost for what it does (this will probably change in the next points update).

For the second weapon devourers are still good on a carnifex if you want a pure shooting option. Crushing claws are popular with players who want more punch out of their fex. Scything talons aren’t a bad option either, and they’re cheap.

[phishtopher]

Great some top notch advice, we just started a crusade at ny local store. And we had a turn out of 25 + so I wanna run oops all carnifex

10 days later... With the points changes how does the fex sit now?

[piersonsmuppet]

Still a solid choice imo. They are best with SL though to gain Obsec and rr’s.

[DukeMantis]

I'm still running 3 screamers, I'm just no longer sure what their strongest Hive fleet is

[countkrojaer]

For screamers I like Jormungandr because.... for 1 cp use the unique deepstrike/Bury strat at beginning of game. Fexes can be in broods of 3 of the same type. That means for 1cp you can Bury 3 screamers and then they have a 8" charge if you choose augmented ferocity (I think) as a adaptive hf trait.
Also, this only takes one slot out of your heavy units section as the 3 fexes count as one unit until they enter the bfield.
Also... if you have a psyker nearby you can cast paroxism on them so they can't be over watched.
And they have -1 to hit at over 18" away.

[N.I.B.]

Fexes went up 15ppm but the equipment was untouched, so nothing really changes for fexes. If going heavy on fexes I like them in Leviathan with HVCs to get the most from the reroll 'adaptation'. So, HVC, Carnifex Talons and Enhanced senses, done. That's also the setup I prefer when sprinkling in the odd Carnifex in my other lists.
In Behemoth I like Screamer-Killers with Adrenal Glands for that sweet S8.

[phishtopher]

These fexes going up takes them out of op. And into s. Tier, all the flavors except the thornback have massive potential. What do you guys think about the devourers..? they seem quite powerful if brought in numbers.

[yoritomo]

I like devourers. 24 shots is nothing to turn your nose at. And you get all those shots in close combat. D 1 and no Ap hurts it a bit, but accuracy by volume is a thing.

The unfortunately the heavy venom cannon is just too good right now. High strength, good damage, and enough reach out and touch someone to be useful on turn one is just too good to pass up. I don’t see any reason not to take a heavy venom cannon on any platform that can equip it at the moment.

This s puts devourers in an awkward position. 12 shots are okay, but it’s not enough. If you don’t have anything good to do with the points then by all means, take the devourers. I think I’d rather keep the carnifex cheap though, which means scything talons.
